title: [Depression and self perception in chronic hemodialysis patients].
abstract: The research analyses the influence of variables such as sex and social condition during psychologic adjustment to haemodialysis. The measure of depression and self-perception during various years of dialysis represented the index of adjustment. The analysis of the variance showed that people of low social class are more at risk among patients in haemodialysis. Women are more depressed compared to men. The Author points out the ambivalence of the employment as a factor facilitating the adjustment to haemodialysis.
